Hussein Kulmiye Afrah (Somali: Xuseen Kulmiye Afrax, Arabic: أفراح حسين) (1920 – 1993) was Vice President of Somalia in the era of Siad Barre between 1972 and 1990. He was also a member of the Supreme Revolutionary Council.

## Post Civil War

Following the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, Kulmiye, among other Hawiye officers, was not arrested nor expelled from Mogadishu.

However General Kulmiye was known for his honest straight talk against the USC militias as a clan group incapable of uniting Somalia. Kulmiye did not participate in the civil war in 1991.
